Sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is more much complex than asexual reproduction. It requires the production of sex cells, or gametes , which have half the number of chromosomes of all other cells in the organism. ... Once the gametes are made in the male and female, they must meet with one another to form offspring
Question:
I failed to find the options, but I will post the way by which you can construct Punnett squares.
Answer and Explanation:
First, you need to know both parental individuals´ genotypes. From these genotypes, you will get all the possible gametes for each parent, following the principle of simple segregation.
Then, by using a simple square, you will make the crosses. This is:
- You will locate all the possible gametes of one parent on the top of the square
- You will place all the possible gametes of the other parent on the left edge of the square.
- Once you have done that, you will perform the crosses. You will look for the intersection between each parent´s gametes and place all the involved alleles in the intersection-box. These are the possible genotypes, and they will be written within the square.
In the attached files, you will find an example of the cross between two pure-breeding plants.
Answer: D
Explanation:
In the graph it shows that question D flattens out quicker than the other answers.
Mendel concluded that pea traits like flower color were determined by separate units. From the results, Mendel proved that all traits do not blend. For instance, purple flowers mixed with white flowers did not produce pink flowers.
Since all of the offspring have the purple phenotype, this tells us that the purple allele is dominant to the white allele. ... This means that 75% of the offspring displayed the dominant phenotype of purple flowers, and 25% displayed the recessive phenotype of white flowers.
Two pea plants, both heterozygous for flower color, are crossed. The offspring will show the dominant purple coloration in a 3:1 ratio. Or, about 75% of the offspring will be purple.
Mendel's Results
Mendel noted the ratio of white flowered plants to purple-flowered plants was about 3:1. That is, for every three purple-flowered plants, there was one white flowered plant.
